Weekend Turn-Out Monday, Aug 31 2009

This turned out to be a great weekend for the Kellyinaday household, but let me tell you how it started.

Tomorrow, the 1st is Bird’s bday. She’ll be 8! She wants the Han.nah.Mon.tana. p.sp. game. Do you know how much that thing costs?? $200 +tax. When did bday gifts for kids become that expensive??? Bird is a great girl so I’m happy to get it for her, but that meant no party. I can’t do both. I did say that we could do a pre-bday celebration on Sunday. She could choose a friend and we’d go to her place of choice. She chose build.a.bear. and her friend C. C belongs to this crew. I called C’s mom on Tuesday to see if she’d be available. After she confirmed I told her that I’d be in touch on Friday to firm up the details. I called Friday morning..left a vm. I called again Friday evening, and left another message. While I was having devotion with the girls she called…I didn’t answer cuz we talking to God.

I called her right back after we were finished. I left her another vm asking her a couple of questions…again. She returned my call late, I was already sleeping, but again no msg. So now we’re playing phone tag and no info is being exchanged.

I called again on Saturday…vm. I called bright and early on Sunday..I mean this is THE day. She answered and said she gave birth last night. Awwwwww….congrats! I ask if C is still available. She says yes…and we make plans to have her Dad drop her by my house at 1:00. When 1:00 rolled around I was still getting new tires put on my car, so I gave her call. I didn’t reach her but she called me back. At this point I’m ready to pick up C if necessary. She says “C won’t be able to make it this time. Maybe they can do something another day…C is in Connecticut with her Aunt and I don’t think her Dad is bringing her by any time soon” *eyes stretched* “Tell Bird I’m sorry…if circumstances were different….” I said “ok…I’ll let her know” I was HAWT! I think that is beyond rude…beyond rude. This is THE only lil girl that was invited to come along. You didn’t mention to her Dad that she had a date on Sunday?? I don’t understand.

I called my mom to let off a lil steam. The girls were in the car. When I finished off the phone I walked back to the car and Bird’s face was sooo low. I asked “what’s wrong pumpkin” She says “I know C isn’t coming…I heard you” “Ooops! Mommy talks too loud huh??” I ask her what she wants to do…she still wants to go..so we rolled out as planned with T in tow. AND WE HAD A BALL! She loves her bear…she got extra goodies and I didn’t have to spend a penny on someone else’s pickney…hmph.

Back in the saddle Monday, Aug 24 2009

Heller!

I’m returning to some sense of normalcy…trying that is.  Some of my routine I could live without. 

Sometimes I have soo much to share, but if I don’t do it right away its lost.  Much was lost this week.  Speaking of…my camera died.  WTH!!! We went out Tuesday…I took one pic..put the cam down.  When I picked it back up to take another pic it read “zoom error”…ughhh

I had issues with my laptop and fl.ip cam a few weeks ago. I finally got things resolved last night.  I took a few work wear clips that I intended to post..but like I said those devices gave me fever.  Here they go.

I think I should have worn a brown belt with it..next time I will.

Missed ya’ll….really.

I’m going to post about something in a day or two when I finish procrastinating and figure out how to post it private….or password protect it.  You had to figure there’d be a story.

Weekend turn-out Monday, Aug 17 2009

Saturday

Last week I agreed to sit on the pulpit this Sabbath. OMG! Nerves?? Baaaaad! I rehearsed my part ova and ova and ova and ova. I TRIED to smile…my Aunt said I should. Thankfully, it went over well and I didn’t pass out cuz that woulda been REALLLLY embarassing. Speaking in front of 600 ppl is no joke…even it IS just 10 seconds.

Cancer Thursday, Aug 13 2009

August has been a tumultuous month for alot of people that I know.  Over the past 12 days I’ve had 3 friends lose, a mom…a dad, and an uncle to cancer.  It’s been difficult.  You never have the right words.  What are the right words?

Early this morning R called me.  It was the middle of the night, and in my sleep I didn’t get to the phone in time.  A thought came to mind and I quickly pushed it aside when I realized that my cell phone didn’t start ringing.   

He called me again at 6:45am to tell me that my mother in law had passed.  If this were 2 years ago I would have been prepared.  She wasn’t doing well at all.  They found brain tumors, but that was 2 years ago and they managed to shrink them.  Sure she’d lost weight, but she’d lost weight before and put it back on.  I don’t even remember if I mentioned it here.  I didn’t expect it now…I wasn’t prepared.

I guess that doesn’t much matter now.  I’m glad that she’s not suffering anymore.  She fought like a warrior.  Cancer is such an ugly disease.  I look forward to the day when death is no more.

I told Bird this morning.  She was emotional.  T is at a friend’s house so she doesn’t know yet.  I’m not looking forward to telling her.  My mother in law LOVED her grand-daughters so much, and she was proud of them.  I feel sadness that they never got to learn some of her great recipes from her crucian roots.  Please remember our family in your prayers.

Weekend Turn-out Monday, Aug 10 2009

My girls are home!!!!! They haven’t even gotten on my nerves yet   I picked them up from the airport on Saturday.  I was uber happy.

Surge
I sent out a text to 4 girlfriends posing the question…press or wear a curly fro for the boat ride.  Three to One responded curly…well that didn’t happen.  With all of my other preparation I didn’t have time to twist and curly so I blew it out and flat ironed it.  That was pretty exciting to “see” it.  I thought, and the girls agreed…that it has really grown.  I’ve not seen it out since late March.  I curled it and then pin curled it so it could set for a bit.

CP Time
Boarding time for the boat was 11:45pm.  How come they didn’t BEGIN boarding until like 1:00 am????? 

Dress to impress
There was one woman in particular that is my all time hero.  She must have confidence that the galaxies can’t even contain.  She wore a white lace bustier, with what looked like the bottom panty to a white bikini and…wait for it………………….wait……………………..a pink TUTU….yup….she sure did.  She also had on a white garter.

The Fall
Fall is what my hair did….HARD…I might add.  By the end of the night everybody was looking at me and shaking their head…lol.  One girl said you look like Joan…I decided to take that as a compliment! lol  I wish I took a before pic.  This was my last dance.

Good Times
I had a banging headache for most of the night, but I enjoyed the company.  The bday girl had a blast.  I’m happy for her…she deserved it.

I got home at 6 a.m. and had to be up at 10a.m. to get ready for class.  That won’t be happening again any time soon.

Just the facts… Friday, Aug 7 2009

…I’m not complaining…anymore.

Wednesday night after hanging out with the girls I caught my express bus.  At the next stop I saw a white woman waiting on line to board.   My first thought was this woman is surely getting on the wrong bus.  (If it were a white man, or an elder white person she wouldn’t have stood out to me because of my neighborhood demographic)  She boarded and confirmed it was the bus she needed. Then she said something about losing her wallet.  She dropped a bunch of change in the receptacle and took a seat across from me.

At some point she laid down occupying both seats.  When the bus started to make stops and unload in the Bronx…folx were inconvenienced because she had her legs and feet dangling in the aisle.  The walkway is narrow as it is.  It amazed me that each time she would resume the same position only for it to happen again.  I planned to tell ya about this foolishness so I took a pic.  I AM that thoughtful

Not long after the photo session she sat up to re-position and I saw her looking at me through the reflection in my window…I thought to myself…”Did she just Sharon.Stone.(basic instinct interrogation room scene) me?” I determined…naaaah.

The bus made another stop and now this man is saying excuse me and waiting for her to move.  At this point I was really annoyed.  She’s all laid out…this is not her crib.  She sits up to let him pass…and he does.  I look back over at her…she’s laying on her back with her head propped up by her pocketbook.  She’s got both legs hanging up on the arm rest and she’s commando…all I see are flesh holes! I was PISSSSSSSSSSED!!  There was divine intervention for sure.  I got my crap together and stood up to move to to another seat when she thought it was ok to ask “Do you know what the last stop is?“  I snarled “Don’t ask me NUTHIN’!!!”

I was repulsed.  I moved to the front seat where I told the driver I thought she may be a prostitute.  He seemed shocked.  Who knows what happened at the end of the line.  Ugh!

Randomness Wednesday, Aug 5 2009

My Aug 8th party is pink and white.  My Aug 22nd party is all white.  I hate that.

I played in my make-up last night.  I need much more play time…lol

Insomnia is back.

I went to the gym…early this AM.  It’s been a minute.  I didn’t stretch.  I’m soooooooo sore.

Alot of prayers are being answered.  Its a joy to highlight them in my book!

I’ve OFFICIALLY started to study for the lsat.  I need a head start considering my fall and spring course load.

I’m going to register in April to take it in June.

Isn’t that right around the corner???

I start my 2nd summer class on Friday.

My mom called me type A…again..last night. 

The summer is over…finito…not that we ever REALLY had one.

I saw Mr. K recently…he said I lost my butt…I agree *eyes stretched*.

How tragic.  I hate when that happens.

The girls were supposed to hook up with TBS…she had to cancel this go round.

I don’t particularly care for ATL, but I think I’m going to apply for a school out there.  I have alot of friends there. I wouldn’t be lonely.

I think I may be homesick in NC.  I’m sure I’d get over it in time.  I hope.

If you gonna pray why worry…if you gonna worry why pray.  Right?

Sometimes men are wayyyy worse than women when it comes to relationships that are bad for them.

I do not have an all white outfit and I DON’T wanna buy one.

I’m hosting a RHOA shindig tomorrow night….can’t WAIT!

AR Gal had a good idea wit them shirts.  I’d wear one…lol

I miss them girls SILLLLLLY!

I haven’t worn those suede magenta shoes yet…I don’t know what to wear them with.  If these chicks let me pick my own colors to wear to they parties MAYBE I could!  I’m lyin’…I ain’t hardly wearing them shoes to a party on my first go round.

My chance to make it to the beach went right out the flippin’ window on Sunday.

I can’t WAIT for Cancun.  There will be 4 of us.  Easy breezy gals…no drama.

I’m ready to plot another.

I’m sooo glad those journalists were released.  I can’t imagine the agony for the families.

I watched More to Love last night.

My cat is needy.  Have you EVER heard of such?

Hooking up after work with some of my fav girls.  That’ll be fun.

Moses and I are trying to re-schedule.

I’m not calling it a date, BUT I would like to do more dates during the day.  

I’m challenging myself.  For a week, I will not vent/complain/seek counsel from anyone else other than God.  This may seem trivial, but I’d like to see how this works out.  Keep me in line.

My favorite scent right now is Pink Sugar

I can really tell the difference with the henna.  I don’t plan to use Indigo again.  Regular semi perm is just fine for me.

Its HUMP DAY!

Who’s next?

Cheaper to keep her Tuesday, Aug 4 2009

….well them.  Since the girls have been gone I’ve been shopping in stores and online like a mad person.  Real random too…spices…sheets…make-up.  I don’t have enough to occupy my time with school being over..for now and the girls being done.  I MISS THEM LOADS!! The cat is getting on my nerves. 

Did you know that Bath and Body Works is having a really good sale?  Went there last night and loaded up.

When I got home I made fried chicken and jasmine rice w/salad…mmmm.   I also watched Ch.ris.Ro.ck.  He is WILD.

This was one of my buys. 

I’m going to experiment tonight.  I have a bday party to attend Sat nite….and the following Sat nite…and the following Sat nite.  I’m really not looking forward…especially to this one.  It’s a boat ride.  When I’m ret tuh go…I’m ret tuh go.  It’s one my closest friends so I feel compelled to.
